Cicero's town president announced Thursday his plans to run for the position he was appointed to earlier this year. Cicero Town President Ramiro Gonzalez, a Republican, was appointed as interim president by his fellow Town Board members after longtime President Betty Loren-Maltese had to leave office after her conviction on federal corruption charges. "I will continue to work hand in hand with local, state and federal legislators to make sure we get what Cicero needs, because you deserve it," Gonzalez told an estimated 450 supporters who paid $250 each to attend the event.
